"sourceDate": "2024-03-08T00:00:00+00:00",
"summary": "Tobacco pollutants are prevalent in the environment, leading to inadvertent exposure of pregnant females. Studies of these pollutants' toxic effects on embryonic development have not fully elucidated the potential underlying mechanisms. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the developmental toxicity induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) at concentrations of 0.25, 1, and 2.5% using a zebrafish embryo toxicity test and integrated transcriptomic analysis of microRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA). The findings revealed that CSE caused developmental toxicity, including increased mortality and decreased incubation rate, in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, CSE induced malformations and apoptosis, specifically in the head and heart of zebrafish larvae. We used mRNA and miRNA sequencing analyses to compare changes in the expression of genes and miRNAs in zebrafish larvae. The bioinformatics analysis indicates that the mechanism underlying CSE-induced developmental toxicity was associated with compromised genetic material damage repair, deregulated apoptosis, and disturbed lipid metabolism. The enrichment analysis and RT-qPCR show that the ctsba gene plays a crucial function in embryo developmental apoptosis, and the fads2 gene mainly regulates lipid metabolic toxicity. The results of this study improve the understanding of CSE-induced developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos and contribute insights into the formulation of novel preventive strategies against tobacco pollutants during early embryonic development.",

In December 2023, after several civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, expressed concerns about a blanket nationwide menthol ban exacerbating racial law enforcement disparities, the Biden administration announced a delay in finalizing rules to ban menthol tobacco until March 2024.\r\n\r\nIn a press release on April 26, Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra stated his department needed \u201csignificantly more time\u201d to consider public comments and concerns about a menthol tobacco ban. The secretary did not mention when it would make its final decision. . . . \r\n\r\n\r\nThe European Union (EU) banned menthol cigarettes in 2020. A recent EU survey finds 40 percent of menthol smokers switched to non\u2010\u200bmenthol, and only 8 percent quit smoking. Menthol smokers have come up with workarounds, such as \u201cmentholizing\u201d recessed cigarette filters and menthol flavor inserts, or have added menthol to their tobacco.",
